Maybe I got into this late, but here is my answer. The dos program I run
under dosemu is WordPerfect 5.1. It uses lots of F-keys with the
modifiers for its basic operations. These seem to work ok (I haven't
tried all of them!) when xdos is running in its own X-window, and when
'dos' is run from the console with the raw keyboard option.
However, I'd like to know how to control the way keys are passed to
applications when 'dos' is running in an xterm: say WordPerfect 5.1 is
running in dosemu, which is running in an xterm. Just idle curiosity!
